    Probably/Possibly?

    University "Federico II" of Naples

    PROBABLY/POSSIBLY?, is an immersive, visual, aural, interactive composition/installation on the probabilities an electron has from a hydrogen atom while in superposition, combining two or three different probability wavefunctions, according to the equation from Schrödinger. The x-axis rotation of the electron is shown through different combinations of tones and colors that show the 'spin-up' and 'spin-down' of the electron, which results in a possibility of up to 6 relationships of spin on the x-axis, just between the three combinations of wave functions.

    “He stood there for a moment looking around the silent room, shaking his head slowly. All these books, he thought, the residue of a planet's intellect, the scrapings of futile minds, the leftovers, the potpourri of artifacts that had no power to save men from perishing.” Richard Matheson, I am legend+ The installation is set in a dystopian future, where the income gap impedes the majority of the population access to media. The artist's new medium is trash and the e-waste dump. Liberated from the digital black box he/she is now forced to use earth, found metals and urine to power electronic waste materials.

    The Common Flow

    Luis Camargo / Spain

    “The common flow” is an exhibition made in the Archeological museum of the Caldas University, proposing to make a relation between the cultural knowledge and natural reality in daily life of the original cultures and new discoveries of science on relation with fractal geometry, and flow simulations. The original pieces in the museum of Early Quimbaya cultures have linear patterns related to water shapes and flow. In the exhibition through videos of the flow of the human heart, the flow of the river and the flow of the solar system and a big format back-illuminated fractal images, the visitor will have the sensory experience of self-similarity on an image much bigger than our own body in 2 images 2x3 meters size.

    Rainy Garden 

    Annie Sungkajun and Jinsil Hwaryoung Seo / USA
    Texas A&M University
      Rainy Garden is an interactive installation that creates a moment of sensory awakening and playfulness through tangible and immersive interactions. It is comprised of seven umbrellas hung from the ceiling and an Arduino compatible circuitry embedded in each umbrella to create sensory immersion. Rainy Garden is inspired from our childhood memories about nature: jumping in the rain, gardening, fresh smell from a garden, etc. Nature is a refuge that provides shelter and comfort. Nature is a nostalgic inspiration and becomes one of the core aesthetic components of our work. Rainy Garden becomes a refuge of nature, an idealized immersion, immersion without vulnerability.

    Dark Matter Dark Energy: Soulful Media 

    Bushra Burge / United Kingdom

    www.bushraburge.com
    It is 2030. We have managed to find a way to see more than just 5% of our reality. We have now penetrated the shroud of mystery of dark matter and dark energy that make up around 95% of our reality; and harness it to create transcendental communication. This garment of 2030 allows us to teleport ourselves into each other across time and space to different degrees by mutual consent to create a pure spiritual connection undistorted and untarnished by social constructs. This garment facilitates and supports us to be emotionally naked with each other. Social media has finally become soulful media.

    WEB-MINDSCAPE is an interactive installation joining diverse aspects, such as social network, sound, brainwaves and visual elements. It creates an immersive audiovisual environment, which is site-specific, where sound is diffused in surround, and the visual elements consist of light produced via electroluminescent wires (EL wires). Visitors are invited to interact with the audiovisual environment (light and sound) by using an EEG interface, which reads their brain activity. Therefore, they are confronted to messages from a social network (in this case, Twitter).

    Empathy Box and Empathy Amulet

    "An empathy box is the most personal possession you have. It's an extension of your body; it's the way you touch other humans, it's the way you stop being alone" "I had hold of the handles of the box today and it overwhelmed my depression a little—just a little...I felt everyone else, all over the world, all who had fused at the same time" – Philip K. Dick, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? In Dick's novel, thousands of anonymous people connect haptically and emotionally through their empathy boxes in a fragmented and isolated world. Inspired by the story, the Empathy Box and Empathy Amulet are two networked devices that connect many anonymous people through shared warmth.
